Kill count for co-op

[gazac 11]

I'm after help to do a kill count for a 4 player co-op, it would show on screen

playername 1: xx OPFOR kills

playername 2: xx OPFOR kills

playername 3: xx OPFOR kills

playername 4: xx OPFOR kills

then keep it on screen all the time updating it

could this be done?

There is probably multiple ways to do it. I'd add "hit" eventhandlers to enemies on server and then make server update the score with publicvariable (clients having pubvar eventhandlers).

You may try something like this. I tried this code and it works fine at first glance.

init.sqf

hc_killedBy = "";
hc_kills = [];

if (isServer) then {
{
	_x addMPEventHandler ["MPKilled", {[_this] execVM "onKilled.sqf";}];  
} forEach allUnits;
};

and onkilled.sqf

private ["_rn","_obj","_this"];

fn_getRealName = {
_rn = "";
_obj = _this;
if (!(isplayer _obj)) then {
	_rn = getText (configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> format["%1",typeOf _obj] >> "Displayname");
	if(vehicle _obj != _obj) then {_rn = getText (configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> format["%1 crew", typeof vehicle _obj] >> "Displayname")};
}else{_rn = name _obj};
_rn;
};

private ["_text","_x","_this"];

fn_genDiaryText = {
_text = "";
if (hc_killedBy != "") then {
	_text = _text + format ["Killed by: %1 \n",hc_killedBy];
};
_text = _text + "Killed: \n";
{
	_text = _text + format ["%1 \n",_x];
} foreach hc_kills;
_text;
};

private ["_victim","_killer","_killerName","_victimName","_txt"];

if (isDedicated) exitWith {};

_victim = (_this select 0) select 0;
_killer = (_this select 0) select 1;

_killerName = _killer call fn_getRealName;
_victimName = _victim call fn_getRealName;

if (_victim == player) then {
player sideChat format["%1 killed by %2 ",_victimName,_killerName];
hc_killedBy = _killerName;
} else {
hc_kills = hc_kills + [_victimName];
};

_txt = [] call fn_genDiaryText;

hint _txt;

Thanks zealot111, your scripts work great but it not what I need, I think Shuko maybe right with eventhandlers to enemies on server and then make server update the score with publicvariable (clients having pubvar eventhandlers).

What I need it to do is keep a list of kills from each player [4 player coop] then show them all by hint on the screen

like this all shown in there real names

Ben kill count: 10

Ken kill count: 6

Bill kill count: 3

Gary kill count: 8

I have got this so far, it works in single play but I need it to work in 4 player Coop

Killcount = 0;
p1="gary"; // testing only

fnc_showOpDeathCount = {
 hintsilent format ["%1 Kills Count: %2",p1,Killcount];
};

if isServer then {
 fnc_countOpDeaths = {
   Killcount = Killcount + 1;

   publicvariable "Killcount";

   if !isDedicated then {
     call fnc_showOpDeathCount;
   };
 };

 {
   if (side _x == EAST) then {
     _x addMPEventHandler ["MPKilled",fnc_countOpDeaths];
   };
 } foreach allUnits;

} else {
 "Killcount" addPublicVariableEventHandler {call fnc_showOpDeathCount};
};
